Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has called on the rulers of Gulf countries to strengthen unity and cooperation among Muslim nations.

In his message, Khamenei said differences among Muslims based on race, culture, society, economy, politics and geography should not become a reason for division.

Khamenei said forces opposed to Islam seek to exploit these differences to weaken Muslims. According to him, such forces are constantly looking for opportunities to widen divisions between Muslim countries and strengthen their own influence.

Khamenei Calls For Greater Unity Among Muslim Nations

The Iranian Supreme Leader urged Muslim countries to maintain unity and support one another despite differences between individual nations. He said Muslim countries should stand by each other and provide assistance when needed.

He also appealed to the rulers of Gulf countries to understand the circumstances around them and identify the forces he considers the “real enemies” of Muslims.

The enemy of Islam strives to turn racial, cultural, social, economic, political, and geographical difference into a pretext for sowing division among the Muslims to see the erosion of their strength, as he waits for an opportune moment to impose his dominance over them.
